What I liked:

This is a great boutique hotel in a fabulous section of Palermo Hollywood. It was within walking distance to great restaurants and shops. The breakfast was amazing compared to most offerings in Argentina hotels (i.e. not just bread and bad coffee). The staff was very friendly and helpful.

What the hotel could do better:

There were some inconsistencies in services. Some mornings the breakfast was well staffed and other mornings there was no one around and things were empty. The daily cleaning service didn't do a great job of restocking the minibar and didn't replace things like tissues when the box was empty. The WiFi was hit or miss in the rooms. Overall though things were clean and very pleasant.

Hotel Description

In the time since Tablet went online we’ve seen Buenos Aires boom; at the turn of the millennium there were some fine hotels, to be sure, but a decade later it’s one of the boutique-hotel capitals of the world. It’s got big ones, small ones, funky ones, refined ones, and the general level is remarkably high. And it’s on the sophisticated, more sedate end of things that you’ll find Atempo Design Hotel.

The location, naturally, is Palermo, the upscale arts district that, if the hotel world is your focus, can easily overshadow the rest of the city. In particular it’s gallery- and boutique-rich northern end of the neighborhood, the so-called Palermo Hollywood, which, though it shouldn’t be taken too literally, certainly accounts for some of Atempo’s clean-lined, grown-up modernism.

Accommodations come in two flavors: the suites are studio-style, open-plan, with balconies; the lofts, by contrast, span two floors, and come with dining rooms and full kitchens. A funky little hole-in-the-wall Atempo certainly isn’t. Add a pocket-sized pool, a sauna and jacuzzi, and a swanky little bar and winter garden where you’ll rub elbows with art dealers and fashion buyers, and it’s a surprisingly complete little package: a chic pied à terre for when a luxury hotel is just too much bother.

How to get there:

Atempo Hotel is located 45km (1h) from Ezeiza International Airport and 5km (15 min) from Jorge Newberry Airport.
